refunding town bonds at four per cent.
60 DIR. A. NJ. Ward has been on the
sick list the past week. He is reported as
improving. - The town voted at the re-
cent annual meeting to redeem $1,000 of its
outstanding railroad bonds the present year.
- John Lewis was arrested March LIST
for stealing tub of butter from the depot.
Circumstances favored the missing of the
property and the capture of the thief. Most
of the butter is shipped by special butter
train Tuesday evening. The station agent
had counted the packages and prepared
shipping bills, and while absent at supper
the tub was taken. The agent, in moving
the butter to the platform, missed the tub
and instituted an immediate search, which
resulted in its discovery well secreted in the
snow beside the track in the vicinity. The
sheriff was notified and watchmen quietly
stationed to capture whoever came for the
property. About eleven p. NJ. Lewis came
up the track, exhumed the tub and started
to carry it away, when he was surrounded
and placed under arrest. Lewis was ar
raigned on Wednesday before Justice j. X.
Ainsworth, pleaded guilty and was fined So
and costs, and as he appeared under the in
huence of liquor when arrested, was asked
to give information as to where he procured
the liquor. He said he bought it of George
w. Burnham, resident of this village.
Burnham was placed under arrest for sell
ing liquor upon the information furnished
by Lewis. Thursday he was arraigned be-
fore Justice u. II. Huntley, pleaded guilty to
one offence and was fined $40 and costs.
80 An invoice of a ten-galon keg and a
box of four dozen bottles of liquor came
on Wednesday evening last, consigned to
George w. Burnham, who said the liquor was
not his and that he had nothing to do about
ordering it, The liquor was promptly con-
fscated. r. Mrs. l.. G. Foss arrived home
on Tuesday, March LIST, from her visit to
New Hampshire and Massachusetts. -

I Road opened since June |.

Road opened since June /.
The total gross earnings of the railroads
for 1886 was more than four million dollars
larger amount than during any previous
year since the corporation tax law took eff
feet. The earnings of the roads last year
were $355,000 in excess of their gross re-
cepts in 1885. For the six months ending
June 30, 1886, the earnings of the railroads
were 81 ,S53, 1883, and for the six months
ending December 80 1886, they were So
296, 20556. The railroads pay nearly one
half of the taxes assessed against corpora
tons, their contributions in 1886 to the state
treasury exceeding one hundred thousand
dollars. In 1888 the railroad tax was $685.
516.96: in 1884 it was 1913, 3S6.27, and in 1885
it amounted to SS7, 1850. The gross earn
ings of the Central Vermont in 1886 on
their three hundred thirty-six miles of road
in the state show a handsome increase,
their earnings exceeding those of the year
1880 by one quarter of a million of dollars.
The gross receipts of the Central Vermont
subject to taxation foot up S2,2S5OOO in
1886. For the last six months of the year
the receipts were $500, 900 more than for the
first six months The taxes paid by the
Central into the Vermont treasury last year
were more than 100000, being $4,000 more
than in 1885. This accounts for two-thirds
of the increase in the amount of corporation
taxes paid in 1886. The increased earnings
of other roads in 1886 over 1885 are reported
as follows: Vermont division of the Boston
* Lowell, $4,000; Passumpsic, 1000;
Vermont Valley, $4,000 The new Claren-
don & Pittsford railroad, built by Gov
ernor Proctor to develop his marble prop
erty, was opened last June for business and
its manager reports the earnings at 81 800
for the first six months. The Rutland street
railroad earned $40, 792 IA in 1886 and paid
S255.S5 in taxes; the Burlington street rail-
road, $12, 500. &c. and paid tax of $261.37.

Corporation Taxes.

=" Forbes" in the Boston Journol gives
the following figures, showing the result of
the operation of the corporation tax law for
1886. The " act to provides revenue for the
payment of state expenses " became opera
tive in 1888 since which time the corpora
tons assessed under the law paid taxes
annually as follows:
1883. sl9667s5l 1885. ........ S20O6s5 20
1t will thus be seen that the amount of taxes
paid by the corporations into the state treas
ury last year exceeds by $4,000 the tax pay
ments in any previous year, and that it is
$1,000 more than was received from the
same source in 1885. This increase in the
revenue derived from corporations in 1886
comes almost wholly from the railroads of
the state, and as the amount Of the assessed
tax is based on their gross receipts, it is
substantial and gratifying evidence that
last year was prosperous one for the rail
roads of Vermont. The amount of taxes
paid by the several classes of corporations
in 1895 il as follows.

Dockage Of Wheat on Account of Dirt.

A dispatch from Duluth says: Railroad
missioners Austin, Gibbs and Brecker,
Secretary Warner, OF the commission. and
Chief Inspector James paid a visit to Du-
luth. Their chief object was in connection
with the complaints about the dockage
here for dirt. They visited the elevators
and made thorough investigation, and
express themselves as perfectly satisfied
Justice to all. A practical test was made
that was certainly convincing. O. f..
Jones, commission man, received a car OF
wheat, Car No. 1916, st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis & Manitoba road, which Inspector She
Iy marked to be locked six pounds per
bushel for cleanings. Mr.. Jones declared
that dockage was simply outrageous and
thought two and IL half or three pounds
sufficient. Thereupon Mr.. Shelly propos-
ed Il test before the commissioners. This
was agreed to, and the test was made at
at Elevator d recently. Before the
first cleaning the car weighed &c.,
900 pounds and afterwards 1880
showing shrinkage OF $500 pounds. On
the second cleaning the shrinkage was
$50 pounds, and the third 16O, a total
Of 4 $50 pounds. The weight OF the screen
ings removed after the third cleaning was
3,4O4 pounds. and of dirt carried away
SAG. The shrinkage from the three clean
ings was about * pounds to the bushel,
and the wheat required several more, but
the commissioners said they did not care
to see any more, that was enough. Out Of
one car OF wheat from the Northern Pacii-
ic, containing 712 bushels 237la bushels
OF dirt was taken out.
